Hi, I would like to light a 10m x 10m room with this (100 metersquares - 40 meter of leds in total). Can I hook up 40 meters of led strips to this?

That would be 8 spools. I don't know if it's rated to withstand the current demand

I run two 16-1/2 foot (5 meter), 24 watt, strips with no problem. I'm no expert, but the 5 meter strips seem to be rated from 24 to 72 watts. Guess that you would have to check the watt rating and do the arithmetic.

Don't worry about the lumen output, just install the strips and connect to a dimmer. You can't have enough led lights unless you are in a light sensitive area. If it is that important then you have to install the lighting to obtain the foot candle level that the task requires, then select another light source

The lights I purchased have a two wire pig tail on one end to attach to the required power supply. The other end was simply cut square. I did purchase end connectors that had two wires attached (+Red and -Black) that the square cut end of the light strip would plug into. Conceivable you could daisy chain several strips together using that arrangement as long as your power supply is rated for the current. I'm sure some supplier has a type of connector that accepts the raw ends of two strips for an electrical connection. It should be noted that the lights in strip form are not protected from the elements or contact with metallic surfaces. Mine are placed behind a wood molding under the cabinets. I modified the molding to place the strip at a 45 degree angle and just hot glued them in place. Easier than any other lighting I looked at. The power supply is very compact and efficient. I think they are excellent. There is an even flooding of light over the countertop and they always run cool. Good Luck with your project.

You can use these: http://www.amazon.com/20pcs-Connectors-Strip-Lights-Insert/dp/B008LR35VK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1388815501&sr;=8-1&keywords;=led+pins+connectors but there may be a limit as to how many feet you can connect. From what I have researched it should work. I thought I read somewhere there was some limit as to the length. Only $1.99 for 10 of them.

This is a 30 Watt supply. It is fine for one 16 foot 3528 LED strip (typically consumes about 16W) I have also found that it is OK for one 16 foot 5500 LED strip (typically consumes about 22 Watt). This supply will not run even one 16 foot, high-power LED strip. (I have found that 5630 LED strip (16 foot) can consume as much as 42 Watts - The 5630 LED strip definitely overloads this supply)

You do not need a 10 inch strip at all to run the lunar light. You just need the power supply. I high recommend spending just a tad more and buying the in line dimmer to go with it. The lunar light is actually way to bright without it. It's not required but add it to your order and save on the shipping and you will thank me later. Not exaggerating when I say it's bright! Tones down perfectly with the dimmer, as dim or bright as you want it to be.

No, not by just connecting one strip to another. Anything beyond 2 5meter strips will be to far from the power source. That amount of length would probably require a data repeater for every 10meters of light strips.

I think so.i use d the controller to connect 2 rolls of led light 16 feet. More roll u need more ampHope i answer ur question

Yes you just have to make sure the Adapter is powerful enough like this one will work great http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KKU7U6WAnd then you can also use connectors like this Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 3) LED strip light connector one end 4pin male connector, other end new type 10mm RGB connector,

The math looks like this - Plan 60 ma per 5050 LED, Multiply that by the number of LEDs, the result is what you would need to power the strip for an hour, Multiply that by the number of hours you need and that will tell you your power requirement. This would be the LEDs burning at full white. if the flash or change colors the time they will last goes up. As they come in 30, 60 & 144 per meter I cannot guess the number of LEDs you have.

simple answer, nope. This strip takes up to 72 watts. The power supply is 12 volt 6 amp output. Using Watts=Watts/Volts the power supply can handle only 72watts. you would need an inline amplifier and another power adapter. http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics%C2%AE-Repeater-Amplifier-Strips-Connectors/dp/B0081CZJGO/ref=sr_1_fkmr3_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1412290653&sr=8-3-fkmr3&keywords=led+strip+inline+amplifier+with+power+supply and http://www.amazon.com/Power-Adaptor-Transformers-Supply-Lights/dp/B00K71VMCW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412290770&sr=8-2&keywords=led+strip+power+supply

Technically you can connect a few in series but then they will not be bright. So its recommended to use the powersupply that comes with the kit for each 5 meter strip. To get the strip to full brightness you need 72W. If you use more your 72W will be split between two 5M strip at half the brightness.

The 2ft u have left over if u have no 4 pin connection on either side of the strip you need to get (Hintel strip to 4 - pin connector-connector cut multicolor led light strip to 4-pin accessories )

That would depend on the current draw of the 16ft LED strip. There is a 6 Amp max current draw for this Controller I do believe. Please check this to make sure. If your strip has a rating of say 1 Amp then you should be able to control 6 strips. This is perfect world answer and we don't live in a perfect world. I would start with 2 strips and run the current through a DMM and find out how much current they pull when they are producing White Light at full intensity. Then add 1 strip at a time till you get as high as you can go without going over 6 Amp's.

Well David, that is a good question. I have a light meter, but not where I have this equipment. What would you like to use this to illuminate? I may be able to answer based on your application. The range of color is amazing and it has worked perfect for anything where I have used this item. I have been quite pleased and I was trying to imagine the brightest setting and I can say that the light this strip throws is quite impressive. Sorry I cannot be exact with the lumens but If I knew what you would be using this for I could tell you if it would work, possibly.

You can run quite a few off of one power supply. Led use almost no power to run. I have limited 4 16 ft strips to one. Box. I have used one y. And connected 2 strips to each side. If you buy the led strips fom 2 seperate vendors, the wires won't match up.
